In the pattern Jennifer suggested trying seashells instead of the flat marbles. So I picked up some Patons Silk Bamboo yarn in Sapphire and found a bag of shells at Big Lots that had some pretties in it.
Here's how the necklace came out:
I found the pattern really easy to do. It took me about half a day to assemble all told. The shells were a little tricky to work around, but still fun.
Because of the shell's irregular shapes, I had to use some glue on the backs of each piece. I chose Aleene's Jewel-It, which I had also used to put the googly-eyes on my friends' kids' fish hats a while back. So far it's holding well. I'll put a little more on tomorrow to make sure it holds together while traveling.
Cross your fingers and let's hope it makes the trip... if not I have another crochet necklace I made from a Berroco pattern last year I think I can use as a backup.
